FROM THE PUBLISHER VO L . 1 0, N O. 1 TM
Good Riddance to 2020
M
y wife has been asking what I was going to write about for this issue’s publisher letter. My answer has been consistent: I have no idea! I certainly don’t have to tell everybody that these times are strange and uncharted. We’ve all lived it together. I have many conflicting feelings and thoughts about 2020, and for once, I don’t really know how to put them into words. But of course, I’ll give it a try… As we welcome the holiday season and prepare to place 2020 firmly in the rearview mirror, I can’t help but feel mixed. We personally watched many people struggle during these relentless times. We saw people lose their jobs. Good businesses close. Friends become sick and battle COVID. Families struggle to handle stay-at-home ordinances. Vacations cancelled. Visits to loved ones postponed. And that just scratches the surface. I want to feel optimistic. I want to know and believe that things are going to get back to normal in 2021. We need things to improve. Our families and loved ones deserve better. Our children require normalcy again – we owe it to them. And businesses deserve more than keeping their fingers crossed and holding their breath, figuring out if they can make it, while waiting for the next round of debilitating sanctions. Only time will tell what the long-term effects of this pandemic will be across all corners of the economy and society. Experts say that our experience could create a paradigm shift in the younger generations. How could it not? Imagine spending an entire year or more of your childhood behind a mask, physically separated from your peers, and in many cases not being able to see grandparents unless you defy ordinances or recommendations. I’m not one to wish for time to speed up. In fact, I’ve written many articles about being hesitant to blink because our kids are growing up way too fast. Time is precious. However, for once, I wish that DERRICK BREAUX | Publisher we can all open our eyes, wake up, and realize that this nightmare is over. The twenty-first year of the millennium can’t arrive fast enough. Let’s get on with it! Good riddance to 2020! Godspeed to the successful distribution and efficacy of the vaccines throughout 2021. Our way of life as we remember depends on it. Thank you for being a reader of 92064 Magazine. Stay safe and healthy!

aving lived in Carmel Valley for the past 15 years, Danny Limas An knows how special his community is. Living in San Diego affords the opportunity to visit all different climates within a 50-mile radius, not to mention the ability to head a few minutes south and enter a whole new country! Danny’s mother Gloria often traveled to Mexico for work throughout her journalism career and saw the need for aid there. The entire family now makes annual donation trips to Mexico, bringing things like clothes, household goods, and sports equipment, while visiting with local families, practicing their Spanish, and learning more about the changing country. “It’s rewarding for us to maintain the momentum my mom began,” Danny said. Danny has learned that though they are neighbors, Mexican citizens appreciate many of the things regularly taken for granted in the United States. “One of the most special parts for me is seeing their genuine smiles after our visits,” Danny said. “Family is at the heart of everything.” Some of his favorite memories from their trips include eating authentic Mexican food with the families they donated to, and seeing the vendors at the border selling everything from piñatas to puppies. As a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, Danny has a passion for English. He has been an avid reader since he was young and writing comes naturally to him. He’s even looking toward an English major and philosophy minor in college, which he hopes to pursue at Columbia or another Ivy League university. “Since a young age, I have always believed that the pen is mightier than the sword,” Danny said. “Seeing the impact of my words inspires me to pursue English.” Danny played several sports when he was younger, and in high school segued into the world of debate, becoming an officer and captain on the CCA Debate Team. He travels with his team to debate competitions across the country, including the prestigious Tournament of Champions in Kentucky. Danny also enjoys digital drawing, paper sketching, and collecting coins and bills from all over the world, hoping to eventually have representation from every country. Inspired by his peers and close friends, Danny has some ambitious goals to work towards. “The focus for my immediate future is gaining entrance and excelling at my dream school,” he said, “then finding that special something that is truly fulfilling for me in life.” ¢

Hawaiian FRESH SEAFOOD
The Spirit of Hawaii Can Be Found Right Here in San Diego by JENNIFER FRAKES | photos provided by Hawaiian Fresh Seafood
H
awaiian Fresh Seafood, Inc. is a top seafood distributor and market that offers fresh seafood products to more than 2,000 customers, including top chefs across the country. Hawaiian Fresh Seafood owns and operates a fleet of three longline tuna fishing vessels that supply their wholesale division, as well as their market. This allows Frank Porcelli, owner of Hawaiian Fresh Seafood, and his team to oversee and control the entire process from start to finish. “Our customers appreciate this because they know where their seafood is coming from. Traceability is so important these days,” explained Porcelli. Customers who enter the Hawaiian Fresh Seafood market will see display cases filled with a variety of fresh fish fillets and loins, as well as an assortment of freshly made poke. According to Porcelli, customers can purchase poke by the pound or in a poke bowl with either brown or white rice. “We’re especially known for our fresh ahi,” revealed Porcelli. Porcelli originally opened Hawaiian Fresh Seafood in Honolulu in 2006. A Poway High School graduate, he has deep roots in the local community, as well as in Hawaii. “I grew up in Poway and enlisted in the Navy right out of high school. I was on the USS Midway CV-41 during the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm). I moved to Hawaii in 2002, and a few years later, I started Hawaiian Fresh Seafood,” said Porcelli. When he relocated his business to San Diego in 2019, it was important to him to keep the name Hawaiian Fresh Seafood for two reasons: the established reputation and keeping the `uhane, or “spirit of Hawaii,” at the heart of the business. “Although we’re new to the seafood scene in San Diego County, we’re not new to the industry. We’ve been building our brand since 2006, and the Hawaiian Fresh “Our customers Seafood name has become synonymous with fresh, quality appreciate this seafood,” shared Porcelli, who lives once again in Poway. because they know As a small, family-owned company, Porcelli is involved in all aspects of the business and even puts on where their seafood his boots every day to work side-by-side with his crew. is coming from.” Each order is hand-cut and chosen for each individual order with the customer’s needs in mind.

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER
Volunteering and Advocating Marianne Elam Advocates to Fight the Injustice of Mistreated Children by KELLEY GUSICH
“I
have always felt passionate about the injustice of mistreated children and wanted to do something to help,” said Marianne Elam, retired interior designer. “Although I had a successful interior design business for years, nothing has compared to the reward I have felt from helping my case children.” Born in 1955, Marianne and her brother and sister were the fourth generation of a family to be born and raised in Napa. She moved to San Diego in 1980 and met her husband in 1989; they were married in 1991. Her sons Timothy and Gregory are 27 and 25. They moved to Poway when Timothy was 22 months old because of its reputation for good schools, and it turned out to remind her of Napa because of the sense of community and safety. Her experience as a child and now with her own family inspired her to volunteer to advocate for children. Marianne had heard of Voices for Children for many years, but because of her career and her own parenting, she was unable to train to become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) until five years ago. VFC transforms the lives of abused, neglected, and abandoned children in San Diego and Riverside Counties by providing them with a trained CASA volunteer, who then advocates for these children in court, school, and community.
Name: Community: Volunteer Affiliation: Occupation: Hobbies & Interests:
Some of her cases hold a special place in Marianne’s heart. One was featured on Adopt 8, CBS 8’s adoption program, and was welcomed to a wonderful family with whom she’s been thriving and happy for three years. One child of hers was behind in school because of moving in and out of foster care, and began acting out in class. Marianne was able to advocate for her to receive an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for extra help from a resource teacher. “Another one of my case children was struggling in reading,” she explained. “I was able to arrange for a tutor through a collaboration between the county and San Diego State University.” “The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world in ways beyond what we can imagine,” Marianne affirmed. The organization has closely monitored the situation to safeguard everyone involved, using remote advocacy and moving some aspects of training online. VFC needs volunteers to advocate on behalf of children in foster care and ensure that their needs are met. “Last year, VFC served over 3,060 children across San Diego and Riverside Counties.” ¢

Student Speech Contest Registration
Pacific Ridge School Hosts Congressional Debate
High school students around the region are eligible for this year’s American Association of University Women (AAUW) PowayPeñasquitos Branch Speech Trek contest. This year’s topic is “Has social media helped or hindered the breaking down of barriers for women and girls?” Speeches should be five to six minutes long and will be presented virtually. The contest will be held on Jan. 30, 2021, and the registration deadline is Jan. 25. The first-place prize is $500, and the second-place winner will receive $250. The winner will also have their recorded speech advanced to the statewide semifinals. The top three semifinalists will compete at the state convention in 2021.

In October, students in Pacific Ridge School’s Government and Politics class hosted a congressional debate for the 49th congressional district between incumbent Representative Mike Levin and San Juan Capistrano City Council member and former mayor Brian Maryott. The event was hosted by the school via Zoom and moderated by Voice of San Diego’s Jesse Marx. The two candidates, students, and families of students were present, with all questions answered by the candidates generated by Pacific Ridge School students. “Helping organize the congressional debate was a great experience because as students, it is extremely important to engage in politics and take advantage of every learning opportunity we can get,” said Pacific Ridge School senior Allison Davidowski. “Being able to contact the candidates, collaborate with the campaigns, and write questions not only gave us experience in coordinating a political event, but it also allowed us to address topics important to young people as future voters.” The debate can be viewed at www.youtube.com/ pacificridgeschool.
2020 Nonprofit of the Year Assemblymember Brian Maienschein named the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP) as the 2020 Nonprofit of the Year for the 77th Assembly District, serving the Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Scripps Ranch, and Mira Mesa communities. RSVP allows individuals over the age of 50 with a valid driver’s license to support local law enforcement by assisting in various services provided by the the San Diego Police Department, including vacation house checks, You Are Not Alone checks, and other community crime prevention programs. “The RSVP program has enriched the San Diego Police Department and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department in so many ways,” said Assemblymember Maienschein. “This program provides the opportunity for seniors to make a difference in their community while helping protect the safety of the community overall.” RSVP is among 105 nonprofits honored by California legislators this year.

Virtual Field Trips Poway OnStage’s Arts in Education program has gone virtual this year, offering interactive Virtual Field Trips for students throughout San Diego. Parents, teachers, and community members can register students for the free, grant-funded programs. The pre-recorded online format means “trips” can be taken at any time, and each program includes a virtual tour of the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, the performance, and Visual and Performing Arts extension activities. Southern California Ballet’s The Nutcracker will be available Nov. 30 through Dec. 18, with extension activities centering around movement, pantomime, and costume. This program is designed for grades 1-7. The following field trip will be Layer the Walls, a shadow puppetry performance bringing to life the stories of immigrant families in a New York City tenement apartment. Available from Jan. 11 through 29, this program is geared towards grades 3-8. Learn more at www.powayonstage.org.
Sharing Their Stories Rancho Bernardo couple Susan Lewallen and Paul Courtright both published books this year, bringing their experiences abroad to life in fiction and memoir form. The couple lived and worked in Tanzania for 11 years, which sets the stage for Dr. Lewallen’s novel. Crossing Paths is a story of two women’s struggles, and their differing journeys through it. “I wrote the book to provide American women a picture of life of women in a place they probably know little about,” Dr. Lewallen said. “Despite some dramatic differences, women’s lives all over the world have much in common. There is a lot of shared humanity.” Dr. Courtright’s memoir, Witnessing Gwangju, centers around his experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in South Korea caught in the middle of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising. The uprising and violent military crackdown are now seen as a foundational event for South Korean democracy. “I had taken copious notes at the time of the uprising, and these served as the foundation for my book,” Dr. Courtright said. Crossing Paths and Witnessing Gwangju are available on Amazon and from the authors at slewallen@kcco.net and pcourtright@kcco.net. Crossing Paths is also available via the San Diego Public Library, and Witnessing Gwangju is also available in Korean translation.

n times marked by unprecedented challenges, the students at St. Michael’s School are thriving. The collaboration, comprehensive approach, and community at St. Michael’s are ensuring that in the midst of the pandemic, their students continue to grow in faith, knowledge, and character. Last March when the pandemic forced the closure of all schools, St. Michael’s staff and faculty barely skipped a beat. “Teachers and administrators pivoted quickly and creatively,” Lisa Matens, Director of Admissions, acknowledged. “Students missed just one day of instruction while teachers instructed parents about virtual learning.” The Reopening Task Force was started, and the collaboration of parents, teachers, and administrators has ensured a comprehensive approach to reopening. This year, parents can choose to send their children in person or participate in distance learning. For the in-person

rowing up in today’s world may look very different than a generation ago, but the foundations remain the same. Teens need to build knowledge, strengthen character, and learn responsibility.

F
ounded in 1991, The Grauer School has a long tradition of expeditionary learning that is woven into the fabric of the school. Through the school’s expeditionary learning program, students connect with each other and faculty mentors equally inside and outside the traditional classroom setting and can explore passions that invite them to go far beyond the standard curriculum. Expeditions offer valuable opportunities to practice the Grauer values of resourcefulness, compassion, and humanitarian service, as well as broaden students’ education. Arts, culture, geography, physical and social challenges, community service, and student reflection are all part of the expeditionary learning experience. While the pandemic precluded far-flung travel options this year, the school reimagined fall expeditions week to include expeditionary learning experiences throughout San Diego County, on campus, and even over Zoom. Options included workshops on painting, animation, chair-making with a master carpenter, and roller derby skating, as well as outings for hikes, fishing, surfing, meditation, biking, kayaking, and beach ecology. Zoom workshops included sessions on garden-to-table cooking, virtual travel, and Kung Fu/self-defense. Each teacher developed local adventures based upon personal passions and avocations. “This round of expeditions has enabled us to explore in more depth our local communities as well as develop greater relationships with locally owned businesses. It has once again reinforced our 1500 S. El Camino Real understanding that San Diego is Encinitas, CA 92024 a treasure chest of adventures www.GrauerSchool.com and opportunities,” said Trevor admissions@grauerschool.com
Olson, Athletic Director and Upper School Dean of Students. Over the years, students and faculty have crisscrossed the United States in search of expeditionary learning opportunities, from Alaska to New Orleans to Washington, D.C. Internationally, Grauer students have visited such destinations as Tanzania, India, Haiti, Israel, Thailand, and many more. “But it’s all here, right in our own backyards and imaginations,” said Dr. Stuart Grauer, Founder and Head of School. Engaging students in six core values – resourcefulness, intellectual curiosity, perseverance, compassion, self-advocacy, and accountability – The Grauer School aims to develop well-rounded students who are purposeful, confident global citizens. In addition to expeditionary learning and arts across the curriculum, The Grauer School also offers a diverse range of rigorous STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) options for students. The school maintains a highly competitive and successful robotics program, engineering design and computer science electives, and an environmental science class supported by the Green Grauer initiative. All math and science classes incorporate project-based learning and technology into the curriculum. Morgan Brown, math department chair, explains: “We believe that the best way for students to learn and appreciate STEM topics is to provide them with exciting, hands-on opportunities that directly correlate with and expand upon what they have learned in the classroom.” As the longest-serving independent school in North County San Diego, The Grauer School fosters nurturing relationships between teachers and students, giving learners 99th percentile levels of connection and engagement so that they are empowered in their education. “In a world that often seems to put standards before personal development, and to put institutional needs above human needs, Grauer keeps the focus on the individual student,” said Principal Dana Abplanalp-Diggs. “Our students achieve and are valued because they are developing personal passions, and teens coming of age are finding their unique voices at Grauer.” ¢

nter a Pacific Ridge School classroom, and you’ll experience something different – a class alive with student engagement, curiosity, critical thinking, and faculty commitment. Even joy. At Pacific Ridge, students sit around a table with their teacher rather than in rows of desks. They engage through listening, asking questions, and learning from their peers and teacher, rather than lectures. “Our Harkness teaching method involves empowering students with the confidence to engage with challenging material and appreciate multiple perspectives,” explained Dr. Bob Ogle, Head of School. The independent private school serving students in grades 7-12 opened in 2007. To help students meet the challenges of the future with confidence and resilience, the educational model promotes education through experience, marrying academic excellence with civic action and global engagement. The academic cornerstone
of the Pacific Ridge experience is Harkness learning. According to Dr. Ogle, Harkness puts students at the center of their education. “Each student is seen, heard, and actively included, which helps them to develop the critical thinking, courage, and open-mindedness to undertake anything that comes their way,” he said. Outside of the classroom. students develop understanding and agency through direct experience and exposure to the world. In a robust service learning program, students work with local and global communities to see how they can make a positive difference. Middle school students go off campus each week to assist local organizations, while upper school students lead their own groups, working each week to advance service projects. The school’s globally focused curriculum and a program of yearly travel help students think outside of themselves, develop empathy, and prepare to engage with the world around them. The last two weeks of each school year are reserved for

school-wide travel education. “These travel courses are themed for different experiences – cultural exploration, language immersion, service, academic study, or a combination,” Dr. Ogle explained. From studying U.S. government in Washington, D.C. to examining ancient and modern cultures in China, Pacific Ridge students have traveled across the U.S. and to 58 countries. In 2019, 11th and 12th graders traveled to Kenya, Colombia, Vietnam, Iceland, Italy, Vienna, Prague, South Africa, the Galapagos Islands, and Austin, TX. The students’ daily engagement and global interactions are led by a group of passionate faculty members. Teachers are also coaches, service learning facilitators, club advisors, and trip leaders.

r. David Gilmore and his staff at Gilmore Orthodontics in Scripps Ranch definitely know their patients and their community. Dr. Gilmore and his wife raised their two children in Scripps Ranch and have sponsored numerous schools, sports teams, and civic organizations and continue to do so during the COVID-19 challenges. “Many of our patients live in the same area I do, so I continue to be committed to supporting and giving back to our community,” Dr. Gilmore said. With a reputation as an affable and gregarious orthodontist in the community, Dr. G. places a high priority on getting to know his patients and their families. Personalized care and exceptional customer service are top priorities at Gilmore Orthodontics. “I treat all patients and their families as I would want my own family members to be treated,” Dr. Gilmore affirmed. Patients are personally greeted by staff members when they enter the office. Dr. Gilmore allots enough time for each appointment so that he can give the patient a full rundown of the treatment plan, answer questions, and even chat about the patient’s latest vacation or sporting event. He also personally calls to check on patients between appointments. “Dr. Gilmore’s personality and caring nature is what patients routinely notice and comment on,” said Cecilia Keane, Treatment Coordinator. Beyond providing a comfortable patient experience, Dr. Gilmore is highly qualified in his field. After serving as a nuclear engineer in the U.S. Navy for 11 years, he decided to pursue his passion of dentistry. He attended the University of the Pacific, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree – graduating with high honors. He then completed a residency in orthodontics and earned a second master’s degree in dentistry. Dr. Gilmore served an additional 12 years as a dentist and orthodontist in the Navy before retiring in 2011. A Board-Certified orthodontic specialist from the American Board of Orthodontics, Dr. Gilmore is also a member of an elite Invisalign Master Pilot Group.

STUDIO WEST T
he Recording Arts Center at Studio West is pleased to announce that the year-long Diploma in Recording Arts program has been approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for VA funds. This means that The Recording Arts Center can continue to proudly serve veterans with the added benefit of funding support for the program. While the lack of fund support has not stopped veterans from joining the Diploma program in the past, now the Studio is able to better support a wider range of vets in starting a career in the field of audio engineering. “The approval by the VA’s office is a wonderful benefit that we are extremely pleased to offer our veteran students,” Peter Dyson, owner of Studio West, said in a recent interview. “The Diploma in
Recording Arts imparts so much useful knowledge and skill building that it has been a great way for our graduates to start a new career. That we are now able to offer it to more veterans with the support of their VA funds is amazing.” With the majority of eligible graduates and alumni using their knowledge to pursue a career, the year-long Diploma program offers a solid foundation for audio engineers. Classes are held in a worldclass studio and offer participants the chance to get hands-on experience in a professional environment. To learn more about joining the
program, with or without VA funds, please contact Todd Hunsaker, Director of Admission, at todd@StudioWest.com or 858-592-9497. More information can also be found at www.StudioWest.com. ¢

I LOVE A CLEAN SAN DIEGO FACILITATES VIRTUAL CLEANUP EVENT
I
Love A Clean San Diego’s (ILACSD) 36th Annual Coastal Cleanup Day went virtual this year, with more than 7,800 volunteers conducting cleanups close to home and self-reporting litter data. Though the reported totals were lower compared to prior years due to smaller, decentralized efforts, there was an increase in the number of registered volunteers from 2019. “We piloted the virtually hosted cleanup event last June with the countywide Creek to Bay Cleanup, but we still weren’t sure what to expect with Coastal Cleanup Day,” said ILACSD event manager Lauren Short. “I’m so proud of the volunteers and how they showed up in a tough year – it’s truly phenomenal.” COVID-19 has caused noticeable environmental damage. Disposable personal protective equipment like masks and gloves stood
out among the 2020 litter totals – items that had not been previously tracked. Yet for the 36th year in a row, cigarette butts and plastic in all its forms remain the chief polluters in San Diego County. Coastal Cleanup Day is part of International Coastal Cleanup, which is facilitated by Ocean Conservancy and includes many U.S. states and territories, and over 70 countries. Within California, Coastal Cleanup Day is a partnership between the California Coastal Commission, nonprofit groups, cities, and counties throughout the state. Since the inception of San Diego County’s Coastal Cleanup Day in 1985, over 970,000 volunteers with ILACSD have helped clear over 16 million pounds of litter and debris from the region.

What Is With This Crazy Real Estate Market? by CYNTHIA ELIZONDO
A
ccording to a recent San Diego Union-Tribune article, “San Diego home prices went up the third-fastest in the nation in August,” with a 7.6% increase in home prices. Only Phoenix and Seattle showed greater home price increases (9.9% and 8.5%, respectively). Of the 19 metropolitan areas in the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices report, all of the areas reported increases, with an average increase of 5.7%... during a global pandemic! Poway alone, during that same August timeframe, went up 10.25%! So, what is going on, and can this continue? The answer to the first question is clear. There is a severe lack of homes available for sale, as many homeowners are
choosing to hold off on selling until the pandemic is over, coupled with unprecedented low interest rates (under 3% for a conforming loan) creating greater demand than supply. In addition, the pandemic has opened the door to more people being able to work from home, decreasing the need for short commute times. Finally, the quarantine made it evident to many downtown dwellers that space is more important than ever, and homeowners are subsequently moving out to the suburbs. With Poway’s many beautiful amenities, excellent

predict that once the banks are allowed to foreclose on properties owned by employees laid off due to COVID-19 restrictions, and landlords are allowed to evict their non-paying tenants again, many of those homes will be put on the market, thereby increasing supply again, and a market correction should follow.

schools, large lots, and friendly neighborhoods, it is becoming a highly sought-after area to live. The question of sustainability is more difficult to answer. On a national scale, the indications are that we cannot keep up this level of home price increases; however, many predicted that the pandemic, the economy, the election, and the high unemployment rates would slow the housing market by the end of the summer. These numbers prove those predictions to be incorrect, so who’s to say what will happen next? Several experts do

DESTINATION: OUR OWN BACKYARDS Stay Safe With a San Diego Staycation This Winter by LAINEY KRAL
W
ith evolving COVID-19 guidelines, winter vacations will look a little different this year. Luckily, we already live in a gorgeous vacation destination, with plenty to explore and enjoy in the comfort of our homes or the great outdoors. ¢
The county’s COVID-19 resource website has the latest on San Diego health and safety guidelines. www.sandiegocounty.gov/coronavirus.html
ARTS & CULTURE
BEACHES & TRAILS
Many of San Diego’s world-famous museums are closed or have limited capacity due to the pandemic, but you don’t have to leave home to learn, discover, and share our cultural wealth. The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership continues to offer Balboa Park TV, streaming 21 channels of content from Fleet Science Center, Museum of Photographic Arts, The Old Globe Theatre, San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego Zoo, and more. Videos range from gallery tours to adorable baby animals.
San Diego’s stellar weather means that – minus a few rainy weeks – we’re free to explore the region’s natural beauty all year long. The colder water doesn’t mean we can’t don a wetsuit to catch some waves or stay dry with a walk along the beach. Being active and enjoying fresh air while staying distant from people outside your household is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a safer activity. Remember to bring a face covering for when you’re near other people.
Some open-air destinations and restaurants may also be open for in-person visitors – be sure to check current openings and safety guidelines before you head out.
Check community websites for current availability of local parks and beaches.
